Midnight is usually defined as 12:00:00 a.m., even though logically it's neither "ante-meridiem" nor "post-meridiem". In fact a new day is usually defined as beginning at 12 a.m. exactly, even though no time has elapsed in the new day at that time.

Just for clarity, in military time there is no “midnight”.

There’s 2359 of the previous day, and there’s 0001 of the new day.

Problem solved. For centuries.
